Hi, I’ve been attempting to get a user by external ID using the docs: https://docs.discourse.org/#tag/Users/paths/~1u~1by-external~1{external_id}.json/get It returns a “404 not found” with any user I try. Using the same URI and API key and username, I can get categories and groups . Any suggest…

@pfaffman I do not understand your response, it does not contain an answer. That topic shows how to find out about endpoints that are not documented. This one is, and it is one of the very few API calls that cannot be reverse engineered like that, since this specific API endpoint is never called by …

Richard, Okay, so the sandbox doesn’t have SSO set up but production does. I checked my user record on production and yes, the external ID is set, and it is, in fact, a numeric ID. When I tested with the production credentials and URI and the real external ID, it returns the same 404 error. Oh, …
